| Core Tip |
Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM), a minimally invasive procedure, has gained substantial acceptance as a treatment for achalasia due to its excellent safety profile, durability, and efficacy in adults. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to generalize and summarize the durability, safety, and efficacy of POEM for treating achalasia in pediatric and geriatric patients. Our results indicated that POEM was an excellently effective and safe technique for pediatric and geriatric patients with achalasia. |
